14th (Light) Division GudangMovies21 Rebahinxxi LK21

      The 14th (Light) Division was an infantry division of the British Army, one of the Kitchener's Army divisions raised from volunteers by Lord Kitchener during the First World War. All of its infantry regiments were originally of the fast marching rifle or light infantry regiments, hence the title "Light". It fought on the Western Front for the duration of the First World War.
      The division was disbanded by March 1919, and was not reformed in the Second World War.
